horace and mae: Downtown Family Session

It's that time of year. Family photos must be taken and gifts must be bought and Christmas is right around the corner and will be here way sooner than we think and we have to figure out Thanksgiving dinner before we even begin to figure out where we'll actually be on Christmas Day and there is just so much to do. But in the middle of all of this craziness and planning and budgeting and spending, this is the best time of the year. The leaves have turned, the snow is ready. Let's take a minute to slow down and hang out and just enjoy each other.

When Kate asked me to take some family photos as a gift for her mother-in-law's birthday, I was so excited to see old friends again and be a little part of her amazing idea. We all met up in Annapolis and Kate surprised Valerie with the news that we'd be spending the next little bit walking around the beautiful grounds of St. Johns College taking photos of her sweet family. Isn't that such a great gift idea? I so enjoyed getting to spend time with the whole family and really love how much joy there is in these photos.
